Smart move for him
But man, me just being a whiny fan for a moment, this situation just seems ridiculously unfair.
The Spurs are gonna smoothly transition from one championship core to another. All the respect in the world to that team, the players, the coach, the way the team is run, etc....but they, just like any other team, should have to endure another rebuilding phase. I was really looking forward to the Spurs dropping off for a year or two, because frankly, I'm getting sick of them. Not too mention, I'd like to see Gregg Popovich finally coach a team that wasn't already championship caliber.
Now Leonard and Aldridge may not win anything in the next 4-5 years. But on the surface, going from Parker/Ginobli/Duncan to Leonard/Aldridge is just too perfect a situation for San Antonio. Going forward, I can't help but root against that team. Respect, always. But root for? NOPE.
